<div class="intro">
<p>This example demonstrates how to use IO to make a cross-domain request to `http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss`.  To try out the example, fill in your five-digit US zip code, or Location ID.</p>
<p><strong>Notes:</strong>
    <ul>
        <li>For <a href="http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/io/index.html#security-bulletin">Security reasons</a>, YUI <a href="https://github.com/yui/yui3/issues/845">has removed all Flash files from the repository</a>. As a result, this example will not function as it relies on Flash for the cross-domain transport. The code for this example will work if you compile and host the <code>io.swf</code> file. Necessary source files for compilation are available in the <a href="https://github.com/yui/yui3-swfs">yui3-swfs</a> repository.</li>
        <li> This example will not function on iOS devices due to the usage of Flash as the cross-domain transport.  This example may not work on older Android devices, as well.</li>
    </ul>

<h3 class="first">Exploring the Code for This Example</h3>
<p>Create a YUI instance, using IO, for this example:</p>

```
//Create a YUI instance including support for cross-domain IO:
YUI().use("io-xdr", "node", function(Y) {
    // Y is the YUI instance.
    // The rest of the following code is encapsulated in this
    // anonymous function.
} );

//Configure the cross-domain transport:
var xdrConfig = {
    id:'flash', //We'll reference this id in the xdr configuration of our transaction.
    src:'io.swf' //Relative path to the .swf file from the current page.
};
Y.io.transport(xdrConfig);

```

<h4>Callback Object and the Weather RSS</h4>
<p><a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/">Yahoo! Weather RSS</a> will return an XML document if the transaction is successful. The following <code>success</code> callback handlers is used to process the response.</p>

```
//Define a function to handle a successful response from
//Yahoo! Weather.  The success handler will find the response
//object in its second argument:
function successHandler(id, o){
    Y.log("Success handler called; handler will parse the retrieved XML and insert into DOM.", "info", "example");
    var root = o.responseXML.documentElement;
    var oTitle = root.getElementsByTagName('description')[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
    var oDateTime = root.getElementsByTagName('lastBuildDate')[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
    var descriptionNode = root.getElementsByTagName('description')[1].firstChild.nodeValue;

    div.set("innerHTML", "<p>" + oTitle + "</p>" + "<p>" + oDateTime + "</p>" + descriptionNode);

    Y.log("Success handler is complete.", "info", "example");
}
```

<h4>Assemble the Querystring and Initiate the Transaction</h4>
<p>The Yahoo! Weather RSS feed requires a simple HTTP GET request with a base URL and a querystring containing the required information as a name-value pair.  In this example, we will use the following parameter:</p>
<ul>
    <li><strong>p</strong> &mdash; location as U.S. Zip Code or Location ID</li>
</ul>

<p>The following are some example Location IDs (do not include the city name):</p>
<ul>
    <li><strong>Beijing</strong>: <em>CHXX0008</em></li>
    <li><strong>Helsinki</strong>: <em>FIXX0002</em></li>
    <li><strong>London</strong>: <em>UKXX0085</em></li>
    <li><strong>Moscow</strong>: <em>RSXX0063</em></li>
    <li><strong>Munich</strong>: <em>GMXX0087</em></li>
    <li><strong>Paris</strong>: <em>FRXX0076</em></li>
    <li><strong>Riyadh</strong>: <em>SAXX0017</em></li>
    <li><strong>Tokyo</strong>: <em>JAXX0085</em></li>
</ul>
<p>For more details on the Yahoo! Weather RSS feed and other location IDs, please visit <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/index.html">http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/index.html</a>.
<p>Function <code>getModule</code> retrieves the input values for location and creates a querystring:</p>

```
//When the Get RSS button is clicked, this function will fire
//and compose/dispatch the IO request:
function getModule(){
    //Get the input value:
    var iZip = Y.one('#zip').get("value");

    //Create a querystring from the input value:
    var queryString = encodeURI('?p=' + iZip);

    //The Yahoo! Weather feed.
    var entryPoint = 'http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss';

    //Compile the full URI for the request:
    var sUrl = entryPoint + queryString;

    Y.log("Submitting request; zip code: " + iZip, "info", "example");

    //Make the reqeust:
    var request = Y.io(sUrl, {
        method:"GET",
        on:
            {
                success:successHandler,
                failure:failureHandler
            }
        }
    );
}


//Add the click handler to the Get Weather RSS button as soon
//as the Flash transport has loaded, indicated by the firing
//of event "io:xdrReady".
Y.on('io:xdrReady', function() {
    var btn = Y.one("#getWeather");
    btn.set("disabled", false);
    //Use the Event Utility to wire the Get RSS button
    //to the getModule function.
    Y.on("click", getModule, "#getWeather");
});
```
